Who else hates Sims babies?

I've created a thread about something similar before, but I want to know your opinions on Sims babies. I personally think that there are a lot of things wrong with babies, and children in general, in the Sims. The base game includes one option for bassinets and little customization. I think they should include at least two or three different cribs since you have about a hundred different styles and colors for all the other furniture. I imagine an actual crib, much bigger than the bassinet, like one with wooden bars and a decorative blanket/toy inside, something more realistic and adorable like the race car beds they offer for toddlers. If not something like that, at least maybe add a new bassinet with a customizable baby pillow/blanket. At the very least I would like to be able to customize the color of the entire crib, not just the ribbon on the side. Not everybody likes white bassinets, especially if you have a themed baby room, only providing four colors can limit your options. Another thing I hate is the fact that babies are practically glued to their cribs. Obviously, allowing sims to travel with their babies was a huge fail, considering all the glitches that came with it. But, a sim should have the option to hold their baby while sitting on the couch, or rock their baby in a chair, or just carry the baby around the house. And, in my opinion the "show off" button has no use. Lots of people can't even use it because they put their bassinets against the wall. While it is a cute idea, I've never been able to use this feature because I refuse to take up unnecessary space just to show off my baby. Also, the fact that you can put your baby in the inventory is just horrifying. On top of that, their needs won't deplete in the inventory. If you are tired of your baby, you can just stick it in the inventory! And you won't get your baby taken for doing so. You can't put a toddler in the inventory, and even if you could, they would die in a few days because their needs would deplete, but a baby can just live in the inventory? This adds a very inhuman aspect to babies. They might as well be one of those Baby Alive dolls, but at least a child can carry their Baby Alive doll wherever they go.
